It's fair to say the first season of True Blood ended on a huge cliffhanger, but fans dying to know what happened don't have to wait much longer - the second run begins in the UK on Channel 4 this week! To celebrate we caught up with Nelsan Ellis - who plays the wonderful Lafayette - to chat about the show and find out what's coming up. Be warned - there's a spoiler about the first Charlaine Harris book!

At the end of the first season, Lafayette was attacked. Where do we pick him up in the second?
"He lives! Lafayette lives. He's not entirely intact but he lives. He's been abducted. I can't say by whom, but he's been abducted and he's a prisoner in a dungeon somewhere."

Lafayette was very feisty and strong in the first season. Does being captured affect him at all?
"Absolutely. I think Lafayette prides himself on his freedom, or his self-proclaimed freedom to be who he is and to go to and fro at his will, so I think it damages his self-esteem to be completely powerless in the situation."
